Immigration Moratorium Resolution

Americans have a moral obligation first to provide opportunities to our
fellow citizens including our own working poor, homeless, and unemployed,
and our struggling middle class:

WHEREAS, 70% of U.S. population growth in the 1990's was from mass
immigration (1.2 million legal immigrants, and 300,000 to 400,000 illegals
annually, approximately) and their U.S.-born offspring. (Center for
Immigration Studies, January, 1999)

WHEREAS, The net cost of mass immigration to U.S. Taxpayers was
$69 billion in 1997 (after subtracting taxes immigrants paid) and is
projected to cost U.S. Taxpayers $932 billion net over the next decade,
if current trends continue. (Dr. Donald Huddle, Professor Emeritus of
Economics, Rice University)

WHEREAS, Population growth generated by mass immigration causes
increasing pressures on our environment and forces local governments and
communities to spend taxpayer dollars for additional schools, health care
facilities, waste disposal plants, transportation systems, fire
protection, water supplies, power generation plants, and many other items,
at an average cost per added person of $15,400. (Carrying Capacity
Network, "The Cost of Population Growth to Local Communities," December,
1998)

WHEREAS, The Mass Immigration Reduction Act (HR41) now pending
in Congress would establish a moratorium and if amended to include
an all-inclusive cap of 100,000 per year, would also eventually lead to
U.S. population stabilization.

HEREBY:

Urge Congress and President Bush to immediately enact an immigration
moratorium, such as The Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 1999 (HR
41) introduced by Rep. Bob Stump (R-AZ), amended to include a
non-pierceable cap of 100,000 immigrants (including refugees and asylees)
per year. Adoption of the amended moratorium will immediately set the
United States on the road to population stabilization, environmental
protection, and will work to secure the quality of life and opportunities
for our own working poor, unemployed, homeless, and future
generations.
